Summary0002056: The RISC OS frotend re-enters gui_poll()
Descriptionriscos/wimp_event.c:722 calls the explicitly non-reentrant gui_poll() function

This is the only remaining instance of this as jmb removed all the rest.

The reason for causing a poll need to be examined and addressed as to why this call is present.

This also means the pui_poll() function is not static to riscos/gui.c

Steve Fryatt (developer)

The call is part of the process to open a pop-up menu in a formerly transient dialogue box by first making the dialogue static.

This requirement is caused by Message_MenusDeleted calling ro_gui_menu_closed() to handle the closure. ro_gui_menu_closed() forcibly closes the currently open menu; as Message_MenusDeleted is defined by RISC OS to arrive after the replacement menu has been created, the new pop-up menu is therefore closed immediately. The poll ensures that the message is cleared before the new menu opens; alternatively, the message handler probably does not need to close any menus?

A provisional fix is in the stevef/menus branch, but there's scope for further tidying of the menu handler to make it clearer what is going on.

jmb reviewed and mentioned if he had actually recalled why that logic looked like that he would have formulated much the same fix.

So its merged and the bugs closed :-)
